How does EBC Red Stuff friction coefficient compare to the OEM pad? I know they produce less dust, but I am also interested in increased stopping power and fade resistance.

Thanks

I'm sorry I forgot to add that in my original post the cold bite is slightly better then oem, and just gets better as the brakes warm up. You will not be disappointed with these pads.

My experiance with EBC pads have been great. Better wear than OEM, less dust with same or better stopping power.
They are all I use on my Harleys. I do a crap load of step turns so I'm really hard on rear brakes on the bikes.

sounds like a good deal- does anyone know if my brakes were still at 90% or so, can I get away with just changing the pads and using the same rotors? or is that what everyone is doing?

thanks

The rotors are so cheap that most people replace them along with the pads.

Dariy we are in the super-duper exclusive & privileged 65 club, we get to pay $1000 a rotor while the 55/600 guys pay a fraction and laugh at us...

They have slightly smaller brakes and one piece rotors.
